E1 Visa Renewal

The United States has signed various treaties with different countries to promote friendship, commerce and navigation. The nationals from those countries are granted E visas. There are two types of E visas viz. E1 and E2. E1 visas are meant for traders and E2 visas are meant for investors. So, if you have all the required documents establishing you as an employee or trader of a treaty country has to be in the U.S. to manage the trade and you may be granted an E1 visa along with your dependents.

E1 Visa Renewal

During your stay in the U.S., if required, you can apply for the E1 visa renewal by filing a petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).Your E1 visa can be extended up to 5 years at a time.
